We are all here because we love MAC.
Sure, they are good marketers, they are a huge company... they wouldn't survive unless they were.
I just don't see the point in all of this posting.
I definitely don't believe that people on this forum buy things because someone else thinks its nice or just because its LE...
Why does anyone buy anything?
Because we want too... not because someone tells us we should.
Specktra members buy things because we love makeup as an art form and enjoy MAC as a company for being able to help us fulfill our creative outlook.
It's a hobby we all have, for some it's a career.
Posting things like this just make people feel bad for enjoying their hobby.
Good for MAC for being such effective marketers.
Regardless, I'm still buying the products.

I see Ruffage's point, but that's just me. I think that the comment was posted in the wrong thread, however. I love makeup, it's a hobby for me just as it is for many of you. I may not use all of my products all of the time, but I do try and use them. But I also think there are a lot of us, that do buy into the LE "hype" and that is not to pass judgement or put anyone down, it's just a statement that rings true. Buying unique colors and great products is one thing. Buying entire collections and 4+ back-ups is another, and it's okay if you choose to do the latter, it's your money and your progative. I think that the response that Ruffage's thread has garnered in MAC Chat though shows that a lot of us are rethinking how and what we buy, and that isn't a bad thing. We can all sit here and relish in the new collection information, after all, it's fun and exciting.
I also find it interesting that a lot of the people that have thanked your post have been absent in Ruffage's thread. Just an observation.
I didn't mean to take the thread off topic though, I just wanted to reply to this. Back to blushes!
